Then and Now
I watch the protesters march
I see the crowds express outrage
at the treatment of some Americans
because of the hue of their skin.
I see the crowds of Americans,
crowds of all hues from pale to dark.
I watched the protesters march
fifty years ago express outrage
at the treatment of some Americans.
The crowd was of mostly a dark hue
with few of a pale hue.
I see a peaceful crowd
focused on attainable goals.
I saw mobs showing rage
filled with righteous anger.
I see little vandalism.
I saw swaths of burned out buildings.
A change has happened
maybe the change will make
a change of treatment.
Then
Now
